    SKILL script to get the pins sequence for a particular net Reply

    Hi,

     I wrote a SKILL script that returns all the pins in a net. However, I would like to have the order of these pins in that net.

    For example:

    - if I have a net NET_X with 4 pins p_1, p_2, p_3, p_4

    - if there is a Cline between p_1 => p_3, Cline between  p_3 => p_2, Cline between  p_2 => p_4

     The output of the script should be  [p_1, p_3, p_2, p_4].

     Thanks,

    Palak.

    A branch should return the pins in order:

    pinDBID ->branch ->children ~>number 

    Otherwise take a look at axlDBGetConnect. With a bit of logic you should be able to derive the sequence.

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks, your advice was very helpful!

    I was able to get the sequence using axlDBGetConnect and by looking for Pin object among the connected elements.
